Reaching the tenth anniversary for any couple will fill them with a sense of achievement and pride and this milestone should be celebrated in the best way possible.

Being committed to someone for an entire decade proves that the couple are devoted to each other; the traditional symbol for the 10th anniversary is tin or aluminium. Tin and aluminium symbolise the strength and durability of the couple's marriage.

If you are looking for a tenth anniversary gift idea and want to stick to tradition then although it may seem impossible there are many interesting and unique ideas for gifts that contain tin or aluminium.

One of the most obvious and popular 10th year anniversary gifts is a large tin of chocolates, if you want to make the gift more personal then it is worth looking around for companies that can make speciality chocolates to order, you could even have them individually wrapped with the couples name on.

Couples that have been married for 10 years clearly enjoy one anothers company so it might be a good idea to purchase a game or DVD box set that is contained in a tin box this will not only keep with the theme for the years of marriage but will also give them a gift that they can enjoy together.

If the gift is from the husband to wife or wife to husband and you have already booked a holiday or short break but feel that you would like to be more traditional why not purchase a suitcase that is made of aluminium and place the travel tickets inside, this will add both surprise and come across as very thoughtful

There are many household items that are made of aluminium including ovens, cookers, wine racks and coffee makers, although this type of gift may seem a little boring but if money is tight and you actually need a household appliance if it is your 10th year anniversary now may be the best time to treat yourself to such a gift.

One of the great things about tin and aluminium is that most tins are made of this material meaning that you can fill the tin with any contents you desire whether it is tickets to a weekend away or just a simple cuddly toy. The gift will still keep in with the tradition as it will be contained in tin.

Whether you are looking for a gift that is practical or something a little different there really is a lot more gifts available that you may first think, it is worth spending some time searching the internet and visiting local shops to find something that will be considered thoughtful but does not necessarily have to cost you and arm and a leg.
